"Trump First"

One explanation for Trump refusing to acknowledge that the Russians are interfering with our election process is that Russia has something on him. And given his determination to destroy free trade and destroy American alliances around the world, that explanation is quite credible since these are the things Russia has long dreamed of - the collapse of American leadership in commerce, democracy, and human rights.

However, there could be another explanation. Trump knows that Russia helped him win the election. And, he knows that Russia is helping Republicans win in 2018. And he knows that Russia will help trump win in 2020. So, why on earth would Trump want to get in the way of that?  After all, winning you know...can't be a loser you know...so "America First"? - are you kidding?

Trump's campaign slogan of "America First" is for chumps. His only real slogan for campaigning and "governing" is "Trump First" - actually "Trump Only." 
However, the I still think that the far more likely explanation for Trump refusing to acknowledge that the Russians are interfering with our election process is that Russia has something on him. And given the very public evidence of his determination to always do the things that benefit the Russian tyranny, that explanation is more credible. 

Looks to me like the Russians have Trump by the short hairs.  It is up to my conservative friends to save America.  I hope they are paying attention.
